just a wee thought - looking at griffiths it says that the immediate lessor is Capt Wyndam - do you know if that means that Michael Mulrooney worked for him or sublet the house and buildings - we bit puzzled, all my previous entries were farmers - fairly straightforward .
thanks again for your help

Hi -
went back and checked griffiths specifically for derrintaggart - I was checking by the name before and it threw up to many possibilities and there they are! her father is Michael Mulrooney/Mullowny - living in Derrintaggart - right beside the McDonnells who are married into them -
I have wasted most of the day on this - I suspect I would still have been at it at xmas if you hadn't pointed Derrintaggart out to me!!!!
thanks a lot, really appreciated!

thanks - i appreciate your info - I tried the same thing expecting to find it but I was really surprised when nothing matched - I was wondering if it was an irish language version of a Townland that is listed - really really frustrating, I downloaded the cert from an online site - maybe I should get the original cert to see if it has been wrongly transcribed -
thanks again for getting back to me - been banging my head against this one all day!!!

Hi, I really hope someone can help me with this - it's driving me nuts!
I have just downloaded a marriage cert for gg grandparents.
Joseph Sammon and Bridget Mullowny 1870. I have quite a bit of info on Joseph's side and know he came from Drumbrastle Nr Newport - but I cannot find the address for Bridget Mullowny - her name is also listed as Mulroy on her childrens cert and Mulrooney in the family - so without a townland I cannot begin to put her side of the family together.
I have assumed that the townland would be nr Newport but I cant find anything that fits - I am assuming the name of the Townland has been transcribed wrongly or they had a problem reading it - any suggestions would help!
thanks in advance

hi - thanks again for your suggestions - just had a look at the Dublin archives and the PSNI - both of which are options - (I live in Ireland - so Kew is out!) I might make the trip up to Dublin to see what I can find - he's got to be listed somewhere!
thanks again - I shall let you know if I find him in the Dublin records!

Hi - thanks for the suggestion - I sent an email to this site quite some time ago and heard nothing back - now it could be that they are busy or they didn't find anything so I will give it another wee while and then send another! I have also posted a massage on the Irish Police genealogical site - but again nothing! maybe I just have to keep digging!

Antrim / McDonnell /Corry
« on: Wednesday 14 September 11 20:50 BST (UK) »
Hi - I am researching Francis McDonnell who married Martha Corry/Curry in 1866 in St. Lukes, Lower Falls. His Father is Patrick McDonnell (Policeman)married to Catherine Chambers and the parents of Martha are Joseph Corry married to Margaret Lennon. I am trying to find any information on these parents. I am assuming that Patrick would be a policeman in the RIC but I have not found any information on him. I have Joseph Corry living in Clonard Street on the griffiths valuation for 1860 - but again I cannot find any deaths for either of these people and would be interested in anyone who is researching the same families.

Thanks for posting your replies - I will have a look at the retired policeman in Tyrone - the date is out for the Patrick I am looking for - but it would make sense that he could have had a son called patrick who also served - could be a long shot but you never know!
I have emailed the link you sent to the archivist at Guarda Siochana, you never know they might have something.
thanks again
